With Tulip Time well underway in Bowral, spring fever is in the air. The famous Tulip Time Parade is on today through the main street in Bowral at 3pm. Get along to see it – it really is special. It is when Southern Highlands community spirit is in full bloom as well!

In keeping with the the spring theme, my garden is also getting into the spirit, so I thought I’d share some of the colour with you.

There is something magical about watching the Southern Highlands gear up for spring. Even though it is still a few weeks away, that is not stopping nature from making its mark already. Blossoms are already starting to blossom and tulips getting ready to burst open with full colour.

One of the things that I love sharing with my kids in the Southern Highlands is the great kids shows that come to Mittagong RSL. It also means they can also enjoy the concerts with all their friends too!

Finally the kids playground at Lake Alexandra in Mittagong can now be used in the middle of the day thanks to the recent addition of sails over the playground to keep it a little cooler and protect our precious kids from the sun.

The playground used to be deserted in the middle of the day as the equipment was too hot to use and is now thriving again!
